  X!XX 
  A 
  1 
  . 
  Tenruile 
  creek 
  flows 
  through 
  the 
  western 
  part 
  of 
  

   Kensselaerville 
  village 
  forming 
  a 
  glen 
  of 
  some 
  depth. 
  In 
  the 
  

   lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  glen 
  about 
  opposite 
  the 
  village 
  hotel 
  are 
  ledger 
  

   of 
  shales 
  and 
  sandstones. 
  Part 
  of 
  the 
  shales 
  are 
  of 
  an 
  olive 
  color 
  

   and 
  argillaceous, 
  splitting 
  into 
  very 
  small 
  pieces 
  while 
  others 
  

   are 
  more 
  blocky 
  in 
  texture 
  and 
  mottled 
  blue 
  and 
  greenish 
  in 
  

   color. 
  The 
  sandstones 
  contain 
  numerous 
  irregular, 
  fucoidal-like 
  

   markings 
  on 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  different 
  layers. 
  Again 
  the 
  

   surface 
  of 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  layers 
  is 
  irregular 
  as 
  though 
  deposited 
  in 
  

   shallow 
  water 
  where 
  they 
  were 
  affected 
  by 
  currents 
  and 
  waves. 
  

   The 
  appearance 
  of 
  these 
  rocks 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  transi- 
  

   tional 
  Hamilton 
  in 
  the 
  North 
  Blenheim 
  region 
  of 
  the 
  Schoharie 
  

   valley. 
  No 
  fossils 
  were 
  found.

  Above 
  the 
  lower 
  falls 
  and 
  bridge 
  and 
  extending 
  to 
  the 
  

   foot 
  of 
  the 
  principal 
  fall 
  40 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  section 
  

   which 
  is 
  only 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  village, 
  are 
  bluish 
  

   shales, 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  layers 
  forming 
  a 
  fairly 
  hard 
  sandstone 
  in 
  

   which 
  fossils 
  are 
  common. 
  The 
  smooth 
  shales 
  alternating 
  with 
  

   these 
  coarser 
  layers 
  contain 
  very 
  few, 
  if 
  any, 
  fossils. 
  The 
  fol- 
  

   lowing 
  species 
  were 
  obtained 
  from 
  the 
  sandy 
  layers 
  of 
  this 
  zone:
